As a roofer the first port of call is to get some sort of referance from the inside. If there is accessable roof space above the leak then get in there with a good torch and see if you can trace it back to get a good referance before you look on the roof.

Once you have your referance you can head for the area on the roof you pinpointed it down to. something mat be obvious before you even climb the ladder. You will need a roof ladder to hook ove rthe ridge to give you access up the roof. Head for the area and look for something out of place; this could be a slipped, cracked or missing tile/slate/shingle. Flashings may have come adrift or the pointing of a chimney or its flashing could be in need of attention. Flat roofs are harder to find the cause of a leak. The best way to deal with that is clean the area thoroughly ( bigger the better) and apply a good quality ruberoid or acrylic membrane.

Good luck.
